Process:
Eggs are entering the packer on the infeed
conveyor where the eggs may be graded. On
this belt oversized-, misshapen-, cracked- or
dirty eggs should be manually removed.
Egg pressure control switches (20) on the
sides of the infeed conveyor prevent
accumulation of eggs on the infeed conveyor.
The eggs run into the infeed gates where they
are detected (21). When all gates have
detected an egg, the roller track moves one
step forwards receiving the eggs from the
gates in between 2 rollers on the roller shafts.
Because of the shape of the rollers and their
rotating movement, during each step forwards,
the eggs move with their pointed ends more
towards the outside of the rollers.
At the main drive position, the egg lifters lift the
eggs on the round end up while flaps are
guiding the pointed end into the cups of the
cup conveyor.
A cup detection sensor (22) stops the system
when remaining eggs are detected in between
the roller track and the cup conveyor.
The cup conveyor transports the eggs towards
the transfer lever position until the first line of
eggs is detected by the start transfer sensor
(23).
The vacuum head on the transfer lever moves
down to pick up the eggs and transports them
towards an empty tray on the outfeed
conveyor.

MACHINE DESCRIPTION
Safety:
The packer is not completely secured with
protective covers. Therefore be cautious with
loosely hanging clothes and long hair, do not
come too close to the packer and do not touch
it when it is running production.
Pay special attention to:
- The infeed conveyor
- The roller track
- The cup conveyor
- Flap shaft
- Transfer lever with vacuum head
Never touch these parts of the packer when it
is running production.
The cover above the flap shaft (transfer
position of eggs from roller track to cup
conveyor) doesn’t have a safety switch. With
an open cover, the system remains running.

Process:
When eggs are detected at the transfer
position, the vacuum head moves towards the
eggs. The vacuum is already ON so the
suction cups pick up the eggs. The vacuum
head moves to the output conveyor above a
tray. At this position, the vacuum changes into
blow off to place the eggs into a tray.
Above the cup conveyor, the combination
vacuum head is in the center position. Above
the output conveyor it is able to move to the
left or the right for filling both sides of a wider
tray.
Above the cup conveyor, the zigzag vacuum
head is in the straight cell pattern position.
Above the output conveyor it is able to move
into the offset cell pattern for filling the offset
cell pattern trays.
Safety:
The vacuum head is not secured with
protective covers. It makes unexpected fast
and powerful movements. Never touch or
come near this part when the packer is running
production.

OPTIONAL EGG PATTERN
DEVICE
Use:
The egg pattern device is designed for filling
trays with an offset cell pattern and an odd
number of eggs (for example Jamesway 73,
Hatchtech 88, Chick master 130/165).
Construction:
The egg pattern device consists of:
1 Bar
2 Blocking shafts
3 Air controlled cylinder
The egg pattern device is placed above the
infeed gates.
1
2
3
Process:
Trays with an offset cell pattern cannot be filled
symmetrically and therefore, now and then, a
pattern needs to be created to fill the complete
tray automatically.
Normally the bar is up. As soon as the egg
pattern needs to be created, the bar with
blocking shafts moves down after eggs have
been detected in all infeed gates. The roller
track moves 1 step forward receiving a full row
of eggs. Now only the sensors (4) above the
gates without blocking shafts are looking for
eggs. As soon as those sensors are detecting
eggs, the roller track moves 1 step forwards,
receiving an incomplete row of eggs. Eggs
blocked by the blocking shafts remain in the
gates. Afterwards the bar with blocking shafts
moves up.
Safety:
The egg pattern device is secured with a
protective cover.

Construction:
The stamping unit consists of:
1 Shaft with stamps
2 Hinging frame
3 Drive mechanism
The stamping unit is placed above the cup
conveyor close to the transfer position of eggs
from roller track to cup conveyor.
Process:
After a step forward of the roller track and the
cup conveyor, the shaft with stamps moves
down to code the row of eggs in the cup
conveyor.
Safety:
The stamping unit is covered but since this is
not a safety cover with an open cover it is
possible to sustain injury.
The cover above the stamping unit doesn’t
have a safety switch. With an open cover, the
system remains running.
CAUTION!
The cover above the flap shaft is NOT a safety
cover. Opening this cover does NOT stop the
system.
ATTENTION!
Do not enter objects or body parts into the
stamping unit when it is running production.
TIP!
Do not store the stamps and ink into a room
with a temperature below 12ºC. Below this
temperature, the ink becomes syrupy resulting
in bad coding on the eggs.

Process 30-cell tray:
When the start denester sensor (10) is OFF,
the denester drops a tray on the conveyor.
This tray is transported towards the 30-cell
stopper. As soon as the tray is detected by the
tray present sensor (11) the packer’s vacuum
head places the eggs into the tray. Now the
stopper releases the full tray while at the same
time stopping the next empty tray. The full tray
is transported towards the end of the conveyor
where it needs manual removal or automatic
removal by the easy stacker.
When the tray present sensor (11) turns OFF,
the stopper releases the waiting empty tray
and stops it again at the tray set position.
Process hatch tray:
A tray is automatically supplied after 5 cycles
of the vacuum head (125 of 150 eggs are
placed in the previous tray).
This tray is transported towards 1st hatch tray
stopper. As soon as the tray is detected by the
tray present sensor (11) the packer’s
combination vacuum head places the first 25
eggs into one side of the tray. Moves back to
the packer to pick up another 25 eggs and
places these eggs into the other side of the
tray. Then the 2nd hatch tray stopper moves up,
the 1st hatch tray stopper moves down and the
hatch tray is transported towards the 2nd
stopper. Again the combination vacuum head
places 25 eggs in both sides of the tray. This
sequence is repeated for the last 50 eggs.
When the hatch tray is full, it is transported
towards the end of the conveyor, where it
needs manual removal (detected by a sensor
(12)).
USER MANUAL PSPC
UM-PSPC-01-E/03-2008
MACHINE DESCRIPTION
Process other types of hatch trays:
Since there are a variety of tray types, there
are also a variety of denesters, output
conveyors and vacuum heads to pack eggs
into this wide variety of tray types.
Although the amount of stoppers and type of
vacuum head may differ, the process how to fill
all those trays is in general the same as
described above.
Safety:
The output conveyor is not completely secured
with protective covers. Therefore be cautious
with loosely hanging clothes and long hair, do
not come too close to the output conveyor and
do not touch it when it is running production.
Pay special attention to the belts. Never touch
the belts when the conveyor it is running

Use:
The easy stacker is designed to automatically
stack full 30 cell trays.
OPTIONAL EASY STACKER
Construction:
The easy stacker consists of:
1 Infeed stopper
2 Tray stacker
3 Lift
4 Drive mechanism
The easy stacker is positioned at the far end of
the output conveyor and is partly situated
above and partly below it. Fixed feed carry the
weight of the easy stacker.

5
Process:
The infeed stopper just in front of the tray
stacker stops full trays. As soon as the tray is
detected by the infeed sensor (5) the stopper
releases the tray while at the same time
stopping the next tray. The tray is transported
towards the lift.
When the infeed sensor (5) does no longer
detect the tray, the lift moves the tray up
through the tilting plates, lifting up the trays
that are already present on the tilting plates.
When the lift is down again, the next tray is
supplied above the lift. Now the lift moves up a
few cm, stops, turns 90º and moves up again
until the tray is also placed on the tilting plates.
During the downwards movement, the lift stops
again to turn back 90º.
This sequence is continued until the top sensor
(6) detects the top of the stack of trays.
Normally this sensor turns ON when 7 trays
are on the tilting plate. The 6 top trays are easy
removable by hand. The lowest 7th tray must
remain on the tilting plates.
Safety:
Be careful with the optional easy stacker. This
unit makes unexpected fast and powerful
movements! Always leave the last tray on the
easy stacker to prevent the possibility of easy
entering of this unit with objects or body parts.
CAUTION!
Do not enter objects or body parts into the easy
stacker when it is running production. Always
leave a tray on the tilting plates.
Keep distant to the easy stacker! It makes
unexpected fast and powerful movements!
ATTENTION!
Do not enter objects or body parts into the easy
stacker when it is running production.

EXPLANATION OF THE OPERATION
OPERATING PANEL
Man Machine Interface:
The display of the Man Machine Interface (MMI) gives information about the status of the system.
When the system is running production, an egg counter appears on the display. When the system is
stopped, the display shows the reason for stopping. See status messages further on in this chapter for
possible messages.
The buttons on the MMI are for advanced users of the system like maintenance engineers or service
engineers. With these buttons parameter settings for controlling the system can be adjusted. See Man
Machine Interface further on in this chapter for explanation how to use the buttons to change
parameter settings.
Emergency button:
After pushing the red button, the complete system stops. Only use this button in case of emergencies.
Start:
This button is a start-, but also a reset- and an initializing button.
After a breakdown, first the breakdown needs to be solved. By pressing the start button, the controller
verifies if all breakdowns are solved. When this is the case, the light inside the start button turns ON.
Now it is possible to start the system by pressing the start button again.
After switching the system ON, some units in the system (Transfer arm, roller track and cup conveyor,
optional easy stackers) need to move to their initial positions. By pressing the start button, these units
move to their initial positions. When the units are initialized, the light inside the start button turns ON.
Now it is possible to start the system by pressing the start button again.
DANGER!
Although a lot of safety measures are built into the control of the system, Prinzen cannot guarantee that no
dangerous situations will occur. Before you start the system, make sure no persons are in danger.

OPERATION
Stop:
By touching the stop button, you will stop the system. The system stops after finishing certain internal
controlling cycles. Thus it may take some time before the system is completely stopped. This is the
normal procedure to stop the system.
Clear:
This button is used to remove all eggs out of the system.
Normally all gates need to be filled with eggs before these eggs are transported towards the tray.
When no more eggs are entering the system on the infeed conveyor, the system waits for eggs and
the eggs on the roller track and cup conveyor remain on the system.
When the clear button is switched to 1, the eggs in the system are transported towards the vacuum
head even though no eggs are detected at the gates. The vacuum head remains filling trays until all
eggs are removed from the packer.
TIP!
The last trays leaving the system may be only partially filled!
OPTIONAL BUTTONS
Stacker:
This button is only present on systems that are extended with the optional automatic tray stacker.
When the stacker is switched to 0, the automatic tray stacker is not used. Trays are not stacked and
transported straight towards the output belts.
When the stacker is switched to 1, the automatic tray stacker is used to stack 6 trays and transport
these stacks towards the output belts.
Tray selection:
This button is only present on systems that are able to use 2 different tray types.
Most common is the PSP5 with 30 cell trays and 150 cell hatch trays. In that case switch the tray
selection switch to I for using the 30 cell trays and to II for using the 150 cell hatch trays.
Since the PSPC7 may run 3 different types of
trays, this system may have a 3 positions tray
selection switch. A sticker shows how to set
the selection switch to run the appropriate tray.
Reset pattern:
This button is only present on systems with the
optional egg pattern device.
For these systems it is important not to disturb
the sequence of filling trays. When a half filled
tray is removed manually, and a next empty
tray is entered, the filling of this tray is out of
sequence resulting in trays, which are not
completely filled, and eggs placed beside the
tray onto the conveyor.
A new pattern can only be started by pushing
the reset pattern button or switching to a
different tray type with the tray selection
switch.
In all other situations, the sequence of filling
trays remains active (even after switching off
the system or pushing an emergency button).

LOCAL BUTTONS
For easy control of the system, some buttons
are positioned very close to the unit that they
control. These buttons are: Denester selection
switch and stamping unit selection switch.
Denester selection switch:
When the denester is switched OFF, no
denester is used. No trays are supplied on the
output conveyor towards the tray set position.
When the denester is switched ON, the
denester is working automatically. Depending
on the selected tray type (tray selection switch)
on request of the output conveyor, the
denester supplies the appropriate tray towards
the tray set position.
For adjustment and test purposes it is possible
to manually control the denester by turning the
denester selection switch to INCH.
When the system is started, selecting INCH
results in the supply of a tray onto the output
conveyor.
When the system is stopped and the selection
switch is set to INCH the denester starts to
move. When the switch is released it turns
back to the OFF position and the denester
stops.
Stamping unit selection switch:
This button is only present on systems that are
equipped with the stamping unit.
When stamping is switched to 0, the stamping
unit is not used. Eggs leave the system without
a code.
When stamping is switched to 1, the stamping
unit is used and eggs leave the system coded.

Normally the Prinzen systems need an air
pressure of approximately 6 bars (make sure
your compressed air supply is between 8 and
10 bars).
Adjust this air pressure with the primary
pressure regulator. Pull the knob (1) up and
turn it to change the air pressure. Press the
knob down to lock it again.
On the air pressure regulator a manual
ON/OFF switch (2) is positioned. Move the
switch towards the regulator to switch the air
ON. Move away from the regulator to switch
the air OFF.
GATE BLOCKERS
9
Gate blockers prevent the possibility of 2
smaller eggs entering 1 gate.
When smaller eggs are produced keep all gate
blockers in the infeed gates (8).
When the produced eggs are becoming bigger
remove every other gate blocker (9).
As soon as most of the produced eggs are big
and the infeed of eggs get stuck by the gate
blockers, remove all gate blocker (10).

START / STOP DELAY TIME
11
UM-PSPC-01-E/03-2008
Check the start and stop timers for the eggcollecting conveyor. When the infeed belt of
the packer is full with eggs from the eggcollecting conveyor the egg pressure switches
(11) at the side of the infeed belt are activated.
When these switches remain activated for a
certain time (stop delay time), a signal is sent
to the egg-collecting conveyor to stop
supplying eggs. When the switches are no
longer activated, a certain time later (start
delay time) a signal is sent to the eggcollecting conveyor to supply eggs again.
Adjust the delay times to get a smooth flow of
eggs without too much starting and stopping of
the egg-collecting conveyor.
For adjustment of the timers see Egg belt
control menu further on in this chapter.

- Adjust transfer mechanism.
- Egg belt control set timers.
- Set repetition denester.
- Set stacker height.
- Check encoder position.
- Vacuum stand-by.
- Sensor control.
- Back to factory settings.
Check encoder position:
The encoder keeps track of the position of the
transfer lever with vacuum head. Here the
current encoder position is displayed. The
encoder has a zero position, which is the
vertical position of the transfer lever. If an “F” is
shown before the number the encoder position
is negative which means that the transfer lever
is positioned towards the cup conveyor.
Without an “F” before the number, the encoder
position is positive which means that the
transfer lever is positioned towards the output
conveyor.
Vacuum stand-by:
When Vacuum ON is selected, the vacuum
pump is running as long as the main switch is
ON.
When Vacuum stand-by is selected, the
vacuum pump starts running when the system
is started and stops when the system is
stopped unless the transfer arm is not in its
rest position. Toggle F4 to select vacuum ON
or vacuum stand-by.
Back to factory settings:

SERVICE MENU EGG BELT CONTROL
In this menu the timers for controlling the automatic start and stop of the egg-collecting conveyor are
adjustable. Follow below procedure to change the start delay or stop delay:
- Press F6 to be able to change the value of the parameter.
- Repeat pressing F3 until all digits are 0.
- Press F4 to increase the most right digit until the required digit value is reached.
- Press F3 to shift this digit to the left.
- Repeat the above until the required start delay or stop delay is visible on the display.
- Press F6 to acknowledge this value.
Edit start delay:
The start delay is the time between the release of the egg pressure switches and the restart of the
egg-collecting conveyor. When this start delay is too short the egg-collecting conveyor stops and
starts too often. When this timer is too long, the packer stops once in a while because it takes too long
before eggs are present in all gates.
Edit stop delay:
The stop delay is the time between the activation of the egg pressure switches and the stop of the
egg-collecting conveyor. When this stop delay is too short, the egg-collecting conveyor stops just after
an egg has touched the pressure control switch. When this timer is too long, too many eggs enter the
infeed conveyor causing too much pressure on the gates.

INK CARTRIDGE
Problem:
There is no ink coming out of the cartridge.
If there is still ink in the cartridge and looks liquefied, it may be that the nozzle of the print head is
dehydrated.
Solution:
Put the cartridge with the print head up and sprinkle some drops of Prinzen Cartridge Clean on the
print head. Leave the liquid for a few minutes, then dab dry with kitchen tissue.
If this doesn’t give you the expected result, leave the cartridge for an hour in a dish with some Prinzen
Cartridge Clean. Please note that only the print head should be in the liquid. Other cleaning products
may dissolve the components, shortening the life span of the cartridge.
